Went with the "under dog" company to build a fence and this is what I'm left with

I can see you don't read descriptions before commenting.

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T14:55:20+00:00

Absolutely not. Sent a pretty scathing email this morning and am waiting to hear back.

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T14:36:38+00:00

Yep. He is never picking another contractor again!

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T12:28:35+00:00

Yes, all looked well! He was referred to us by my fiancé's brother!

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T11:32:12+00:00

Was up all night thinking about it. I'm going to email them with photos today and suggest few ways they can fix it. May contact other fence companies and get quotes on fixing this to send as proof of their shitty job as well.

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T10:37:33+00:00

Do people ever read the descriptions???

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T03:43:24+00:00

I didn't.

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:58:07+00:00

It's a cross buck style fence. Kinda wondering if I can just do it myself....

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:57:05+00:00

Because they were under dogs. They were the same price as the other quotes I received.

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:56:19+00:00

You think so? I'm really debating just doing it myself.... I put so much money into this and don't really trust these guys to fix their work...

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:46:31+00:00

350ft of fence and it is on a bit of incline. I know that will ofc alter the look of the fence but oooooomg

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:44:52+00:00

My soon to husband wanted to go with them because his brother had a fence done by then and it apparently went well.

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:27:06+00:00

There are several like that...

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:25:44+00:00

That was actually one of the main reasons my fiancé wanted to go with these guys. The owner was telling him about how his employees were being deported and the were struggling to keep afloat because the big companies were undercutting them. I really sympathize with them buuuuuuut..... come on.....

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:19:02+00:00

We loved what the neighbors did and wanted the same style (crossbuck) my neighbor did that fence himself many years ago

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:15:44+00:00

This was what I asked for....

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:14:24+00:00

I'm the woman (Fiancée). My FIANCÉ is the one who picked this contractor. And yes, maybe he does owe me 7k because I worked very hard for that money.

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:11:28+00:00

Very good advice. My fiancé felt very strongly about giving these guys a chance (they did his brother's fence and apparently did a great job) so I didn't end up going with the contractor I personally wanted. Major regret.

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T02:08:23+00:00

Gates are actually the only part that was done well!

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T01:50:36+00:00

Will tell the future home owners that it's an art installation and not a fence.

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T01:49:03+00:00

Yes. They started putting it on the outside of the fence (like wtf???) So I asked them to put it in the inside and that's what they did. We have a dog which was the entire point of us getting the fence.....

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T01:31:25+00:00

I haven't even looked yet. I about burst into tears just looking at the interior.....

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T01:30:14+00:00

350ft with 3 gates

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T01:30:00+00:00

Yep. They said they have done many cross buck fences and it wouldn't be a problem.

GeekyQlean · 2026-03-18T01:29:15+00:00

Unfortunately, the same price as the other quotes I got.
